Human-Sex Trafficking In China; Human Rights Being a male is more significant than being a female in Chinese culture. Needless to say, women are less valued than men; therefore, human trafficking, where Chinese women get sold to become sex slaves, is very common. China has become the sex and labor trafficking capital of the world, according to U.S. Representative Chris Smith, a New Jersey Republican.

“Slavery is something from the past,” most people think this way. However, human trafficking is the modern-day slavery. No matter how much the namings differ, it has the same concept. It is the crime of smuggling, fraud, selling of humans or their living organs and threating its victims. Crimes have been all around us, ranging from big to small, but not as serious as this one; especially that it became more extreme after the rise of technologies. Technologies, around the world, have worked and still

Nussbaum declares that prostitution is comparable to other common jobs such as a chicken factory worker, a domestic servant, a nightclub singer, a professor, a masseuse and a colonoscopy artist. However, I would like to challenge this. If prostitution were to be considered a valid job, it would have to meet the OSHA standards for worker safety, sexual harassment, and civil rights; yet, it does not.
